Travelling to Paris and not taking a stroll around the Eiffel Tower should be forbidden. This great monument has managed to stand the test of time, it even had an expiry date from the day it was built. But what if I told you that in addition to this iron giant, you'll also get to know the Paris of luxury or some of its most famous museums? Come with us to discover all the history of the Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe with a local guide in English!We'll start with a walk along the Champs Elysées. They were originally uninhabited hills, but today we can enjoy all their splendour, which is why they are considered one of the most beautiful avenues on the planet. Here, one of the most emblematic symbols will be waiting for us: the Arc de Triomphe, which has remained impassive and victorious since its construction. It was commissioned by Napoleon and its original location was to be very different from today's. Do you know why it changed and what the inscriptions on its white walls mean? Our local guides in Paris know every hidden detail about this monument.But we're not just going to talk about old battles in Paris, we'll walk through some of its most luxurious streets to learn about the origin of the Yves Saint Laurent and Louis Vuitton brands. You will be surprised how luxury and history can have a close relationship through buildings such as the Prince of Wales Hotel, closely linked to British royalty after a tragic accident that we will discover better as we approach the Pont de l'Alma and the Flamme de la Liberté.During our walk we will also witness some of the best vantage points for great photographs, for example, as we walk along the banks of the Seine River before heading into artistic Paris to discover some of the most famous museums and palaces that set new trends and grace the city, such as the Palais de Tokyo or the Musée Galliera.To finish our Free Tour Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe we will head to Chaillot, specifically to the Trocadero esplanade, where we will find one of the best views of the magnificent Eiffel Tower, while we learn about its history and its most unknown secrets. You can also immortalise your visit to the French capital with a spectacular photo and we'll answer all your questions about how to get to and climb Gustave Eiffel's masterpiece. It's worth going inside and getting to know every detail of this great French icon!
